Caf general secretary resigns amid fallout from Afcon final controversy
Véron Mosengo-Omba was target of varied criticism
‘I can retire with peace of mind and without constraint’
Véron Mosengo-Omba, the Confederation of African Football (Caf) general secretary, has resigned after repeated calls for his removal and at a turbulent time for the game on the continent.
Mosengo-Omba said he was retiring but his departure comes amid a crisis of confidence in the organisation’s leadership, with a growing fallout over the decision to strip Senegal of the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) title and calls for an investigation into alleged corruption at African football’s governing body.
